Unhappy how do you fix paint cracks?

my current bumper is not factory and I think my shop didn't add the flexable material to the paint. My dad hit my lower front spoiler and the paint on my bumper cracked!!! You see fine lines of cracks that are hard to be felt by running your finger nail across. Is there anyway to fix that?

and do you think my shop will repaint it under warrenty because you are supposed to add the flexable material to paint on the bumper. And obviously nothing was added because the paint cracked when the bumper was bent a bit.

help!!!!!

there is nothing you can do about that except bare with it or get it repainted.

Talk to the shop and maybe they will work something out with you, but that's a slim chance if you ask me. who knows though

the bad part is that the cracks also extend to the area underneath my clear bra!! there is no way I want to peel off the clear bra...

as for my front spoiler.. i will need to sand down the scratches really well and air brush the damaged areas...
